Just to get this thread kicked off... From "The REAL Feed":
Wright, Brown reach contract agreements with Ravens
NFL.com (12.03.2004 16:02)
The Baltimore Ravens reached contract agreements with quarterback Anthony Wright and offensive lineman Orlando Brown.
LOCAL, or in the case of this source, OFFICIAL corroboration from "the Gridiron Newsstand":
http://www.ravenszone.net/template.php?subsection=single_news_show&s ection=press&content_id=3852.
Though I like Boller, I think if he starts to underproduce/not live up to exprections, Wright could find himself the starter again sooner rather than later. And, given how he successfully hawked the ball up to Robinson last year, it is intriguing to ponder what he could do with Owens... if he ever "comes around" (literally and figuratively).

Wright is no stud, but does give them some type of experienced depth I guess. With the failed experiment known as Chris Redman, they went to Wright last year as the replacement to Boller when he was hurt, after Redman screwed the pooch. Wright tossed 4 of his 9 TDs in 1 game and had 1 or more INTs in 6 of his 7 games played.
Boller and Wright completed just barely over 50% of their passes. Owens will help that for sure. I think the biggest problem will be the fumbles from the QB position. Boller and Wright combined for 18 fumbles(9 each), that is as many as Tiki. I'm a bit surprised that Billick didnt bring in a more seasoned vet to help mentor Boller instead of Wright. This will have to happen for Boller to improve.
Boller does have upside and TO can help he with that. He can make any qb look good. Billick is a great QB guy and sees some good things in Boller. Owens will be fine wherever he plays.

A little jam update Ravens | Police & Courts: Jamal Lewis - from www.KFFL.com
Sat, 3 Apr 2004 09:04:49 -0800
Updating a previous report, the Baltimore Sun reports the federal drug conspiracy chargers against Baltimore Ravens RB Jamal Lewis have been weakened by the revelation that the government's key witness has a criminal history. In addition, at least two or three audiotapes that are alleged to contain conversations between Lewis and the U.S. Attorney's confidential informant feature only the informant's voice, said Donald Samuel, one of Lewis' attorneys. "She worked for the FBI in the morning and was committing crime in the afternoon," Samuel said. The informant, identified as Tomeka Michelle Richard, has also used seven aliases, three birth dates and multiple Social Security numbers, according to federal and state records.
Man I hope this is true,have him in a dyansty league.

Given that the Jamal Lewis situation is pretty big news this offseason, a thread dedicated just to that topic was permitted:
http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?board=55;a ction=display;num=1077746073.
That having been said, kc, your post above is just fine here.  I'm just going about doing my job here keeping things organized and linking together related threads. Yours is the pattern I usually want followed and to err in this way is better than to err in the opposite direction. It prevents me from having to lock threads. In this case, though, I'm kind of glad this thread got a "bump up", anyway.
